PROTECTION NEEDED FOR
CHILDREN AGAINST AUTOMOBILES
Nyssa’s children are faced every day with
two physical hazards, one potential and the ot
her actual.
The parents of Nyssa cannot do anything ab
out old Snake river that rolls along the eastern
edge of our town, but they can do something
about the traffic danger that exists near the sc
hool buildings in the western pail of the city.
Now that the federal government and mun
icipalities are planning various types of build
ing programs to take up the after-war employ
ment lag, the people of Nyssa should consider
some soil of program for construction of an un
derpass or viaduct by the schoolhouses.
Maybe no child has been killed by an autom
obile at the junction of the Adrian and Ontario
highways, but Lady Luck is not always going to
be on the side of Nyssa parents. The school ch
ildren are handling the situation now by oper
ating a school patrol system.
The publisher of this paper is not sufficien
tly familiar with construction to suggest the ty
pe of program needed, but he knows that some
thing can be done, if the people are sufficiently
aroused to realize the danger.
The danger to children and adults going to
the school houses from the main part of town is
increased by the distance they are forced to wa
lk in the face of automobile traffic because of
the great width and length of the “Y”.

56 PRISONER OF WAR CAMPS
More han 140,000 prisoners of war
are now held in 56 permanent ca
mps in the US., the War Depart-
men has reported. The ratio of Ge
rmans to Italians is approximately
three to one. In addition to the pe-
rment camps, there are many tem
porary ones set up to house prison
ers in areas with labor shortages.
Agricultural work done by prison
ers includes harvesting fruit, tom
atoes, potatoes, peanuts, cotton,
sugar beets, and corn. Only a few
prisoners have escaped and every
on of them has been recaptured in
a few hours.
